On Thursday 19 December, a farewell audience was held at the Royal Palace of Stockholm for Egypt's ambassador, Mr Mohamed Osama Taha Elmagdoub.

Just as an ambassador is received by The King on assuming his or her position in Sweden at a formal audience, a similar — albeit somewhat less formal — meeting is also held when the ambassador returns home again. Find out more about formal audiences here.
